Update information for current owners of GFONTS:
GFONTS 3.0 represents a significant improvement over GFONTS 2.0 and
2.3. The following are of most interest:
* There are now 13 assembly language GFONT routines. The new
routines allow use of VGA ROM BIOS character set *OR* 4k
disk files (a VGA is NOT required.)
* The original 5 assembly language GFONT routines have been
speeded up dramatically - up to 25%
* A few new BASIC fonts are included (including RAINBOW)
while a few have been removed (those that were identical to
the new assembly fonts.)
* New demo programs have been included, including a graphics
cursor routine, a Yes/No button routine, and a special VGA
palette fade demo program (really nice effect!)
* Included are quick-reference sheets to list GFONT names and
calling syntax and tips and hints for making the most of
GFONTS.
* $GFONTS.BAS and other files have been tidied up to reduce
space requirements.
* Instructions and a demo program are included to show how to
use 4k font files using the BASIC PRINT statement in
graphics mode.
Update packages are available for $15 if you had originally
purchased the QuickBASIC version of GFONTS 2.0 or 2.3, or $10 if you
had originally purchased the BASIC 7.0 version. To order the
update, please use the same name/address you registered as before (or
I won't believe you!)
